"I attended the beginners candle making workshop with Paula. I’m so glad I choose Old Bexley Soap Co. The day was fun, well structured and I learnt so much. I went away inspired and with the confidence to try making my own candles at home. Paula is very knowledgeable and passionate and was more than happy to pass this on to her students.

Sarah Axtell reviewed: Beginners Candle Making Course

"I attended Paula's Candle Making Course for beginners on the 6th November, and loved every minute of it! Paula is extremely knowledgeable, approachable, and has an excellent teaching manner. The quality of the products supplied for our use, and quality of what we produced, were excellent. I thoroughly enjoyed the day, finished off with a lovely afternoon tea, and I will most definitely be booking another course in the new year."

Grace Harris-Bridge reviewed: Beginners Candle Making Course

"Absolutely fascinating course delivered by a lovely lady who is clearly passionate about what she does. Explained every element of candle making right from starting out as a beginner up to if you are considering developing it into a business. Very well thought out day explaining why the individual elements are so important and recommendations of where to buy materials from. Also included a delicious lunch and afternoon tea and catered for vegans."

N.Torres reviewed: Beginners Soap Making Course

"OMG, I can’t recommend this course enough. Whether you are interested in just trying soap making or if you are serious about it this course is perfect. Paula brings a great combination of theory and practice in this 5hr programme. The price is amazing and I couldn’t find anything like it online. I now feel super confident I can try it by myself. Also, you get to spend a great and relaxing day. I’m so happy I found this course. I’m definitely coming back for others. Thanks, Paula."

"I had an amazing day with Paula doing the 1-2-1 candle course. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who is thinking of starting a candle business. Paula is extremely knowledgeable and was able to answer every question I had in detail. It was the perfect amount of practical work and theory. The day was very full on but also very relaxed and nothing was rushed. Not only did I leave the course with new skills to start my business but I also left feeling comfortable and confident enough to do so!"

"Brilliant course! I am now hooked and can’t wait to continue my soap making journey. The course taught me how to make my own cold press soap and gave me the confidence to develop my own soap recipes. Paula is a great teacher and made the day so much fun."

Alice reviewed: One to One Candle Making Business One Day Course (Bexley -London)

"I had a fabulous day with Paula as she guided me through all the steps of making candles and starting a candle business. Paula provides you with lots of practical information on all aspects of starting a candle business which is all summarised in her teaching booklets which you get to keep. I think undertaking this course is a valuable investment as the knowledge Paula gives you is what would otherwise probably take months or years to accumulate yourself. Paula gives you a lot of direction and I feel confident about starting my own candle business now. I would highly recommend this course. Paula is very professional and it was inspiring to learn about Paula’s business too and I am very grateful that she shared so much of her knowledge and experience with me. I felt really inspired after the course."

"I am so pleased to hear you enjoyed the course and that you are inspired and confident to start your candle business. All the best of luck and welcome to our candle makers community. Paula"

Kate Jones reviewed: Beginners Candle Making Course

"This was bought as a birthday gift because I wanted to learn how to make candles as a hobby. I truly didn’t appreciate the ‘art’ of making an excellent candle but I feel really confident now that I have the knowledge to start making candles that look and smell amazing and are safe and comply to regulations. Paula’s course is perfect for a hobbyist or someone looking to start a small business. Highly recommended!"

Leanne reviewed: Beginners Candle Making Course

"I attended the Candle Making workshop with afternoon tea recently and cannot praise Paula enough. I felt the course was more aimed towards those who wanted to start their own business, however I still had such an enjoyable day and have ordered some supplies since to try and recreate the beautiful candles I made on the day. Paula has so much information to give and is very in depth, which is great if you are thinking of this as a side line business or a career. A thoroughly enjoyable day, thank you Paula :)"

Old Bexley Soap & Candle Co. responded:

"Hi Leanne, so pleased you enjoyed and that you bought some supplies to continue making candles. The extra info regarding selling will always be useful should you want to share your candles with friends and family. All the best. Paula"

Kemi reviewed: Beginners Soap Making Course

"I enrolled on the Beginners Soap Making course with afternoon tea in July and I have to say the course was so informative. Paula was so engaging and made me feel welcome and the group that day was fantastic. I had dabbled with soap making in the past but wasn’t confident in my ability to move forward as there was so much Information I found online I got a bit overwhelmed and confused hence why I decided to take the course. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to learn about the cold process soap making method. It is such a brilliant course you won’t be disappointed. I came away with more confidence and 8 beautiful soaps. Also the afternoon tea was lovely, such a great touch. Thank you Paula :)"
